To all whom it may concern.:

Be it known that lt, HARRY H. BURsoN,

a citizen ot' the United States, residing at,

specication The present invention relates to a studding which is intended as a support or holder for plaster board used in the'construction of the walls or artitions ofla building.

The object o the present invention is to construct a studding Which will hold two sections. ot plaster board in such manner that a space will be left between them which will` forni the air space in the wall.

A 4further object of the invention is to construct the studding of a single piece of metal, and of a .configuration so that it may be easily stamped or pressed. e

The invention farther consists in the features of construction and combination ot' parts hereinafter described and claimed.

In lthe drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective of a section of studding; and Fig. 2 is a transverse section, showing the studding with the plaster board inserted thereinto and embedded within the plaster.

The studding, as shown, consists of coinpanion sections 3 and 1l, each being alike in configuration, and each consisting' of a front wall 5, a rear wall 6, and side walls 7. The terms front, rear, and sidi-2, are merely used for the purpose of clearness in description, as, obviously, these designations would be changed as the position of tire studding changed. The front wall 5 ot' the section is provided. with a longitudinally extending channel 8, and the rear Wall G oi' the section 4 is provided with a longitudinally extending channel 9, and, as shown, these channels are nearer the edges of the sections than the center7 but are both equidistant Jfrom the center. The inner end of the front wall 5 oi the section 3 and the outer end of the4 rear wall 6 of the section 4:' are joined together by a diagonally eX- tending partition wall 10, and the'termini o't' this partition wall act in conjunction with the free ends of the metal of which `the stndding is composed, to form a longitudinally extending slot ll in' the rear wall of the section 3 and a longitudinally extending slot 'l2 in the front wall of thetsection Li. These slots are in alineinent with the longitudinally extending channels 8 and 9 and act in conjunction with these channels to form seats for the sections 13 ofthe plaster board.

The side walls of the studding are pro-V vided with a plurality of recesses 14, which permit plaster to filter therethrough intot-heV interior of the studding, so that in use the studding is iilled in its interior with a solid body of plaster and is of a substantial and strong nature.

In use, the studding is placed at predetermined distances along the Wall, and the section of plaster board then inserted in place therein. When the plaster board is inserted, the end is first slipped into the slotsll and l2, and the plaster board is then V swung sufiicicntly to enable the opposite end to'clear the next adjacent studding. After this clearance has been effected, the board is brought into alinement with one of the channels in the next adjacent studding, and 1s then pus ied forward, so that it is held within the slot in one studding and within the channel on the next studding. This principle of operationis fully described and shown in my allowed application, bearing Serial No. 500,050, tiled (lune 4, 1909, and allowed December :22, 1909, and detailed description thereof is not deemed necessary.

I claim: l

i. A studding for plaster boards comprising shell-like sections formed of sheet metal and joined together by a diagonally extending wall constitutingV a partition, the partition being connected at one end to the front wall ot one of the sections and at the other end to-the rear Wall of the other section, said front and rear walls bein formed with a longitiidinally extending c annel providing a seat'for the reception of plaster boards, each-of the sections being provided with a slot formed between the free ends of the metal from which the studding is formed and the termini of the partition wall, said sections and at the other end to the rear Wall otv the other section, said front and rear walls being formed with a. longitudinally extending channel providing a seat 'for the reception of plaster boards, each of the sections being provided with a slot formed between the free end s of the metal troni which ing shell-like sections 1ornied of sheet metal and joined together by a Wall constituting a partition, the front wall 'of one section and the rear wail of the other section being formed with channels positioned equidistant from the center o1 the studding, each of the sections having a portion of one Wall cut away tol provide slots extending .longitudinally of the studding and in alinement with the channels, said channels and slots proxriding seats for the reception of plaster boards, substantially as described.

4. A studding for plaster boards,conipris ing shell-like sections orniedgoi, sheet metal and joined together by a diagonally extending Wall constituting a partition, the front wall of one section and rear wall of the other section being formed with indentnres, providing seats for the reception of plaster boards, the indentures eqnidistant from the center of the-studding, substantially as described.

which the channel is formed, said slots and channels cooperating to provide seats for the plaster boards, substantially as described.

G. A stndding for plaster boards comprising shell-like sections formed of sheet metal and joined together by a diagonally extending wall constituting a partition, the front wall of one section and the rear Wall of the other section being provided with longitudinally extending channels forming seats for` the `reception oi the plaster boards, each of the sections having a longitudinally extending slot formed in. the Wall opposite that in which the channel is Jtermed, the slots and channels being opposite-.ly disposed from one another and all of there being eqnidistant from the center of the studding, the distance between the channel and slot on the same side of tl *adding being greater than. the distance l een the. channel and the ends of the studding or the slot and the ends of the studding,,substantially as described.
